19 and Mother of "Six": 1000th Diaper Party!

Oh, yesterday was quite a day! First allow me to explain to you the reason to all my commotion and then I will tell you of my adventures.

Yesterday was James' 1000th diaper party! Never heard of that? Well, the reason to that is quite simple. I made up the 1000th diaper party. I have this amazing app on my phone! With it, I record everything my sweet baby James does. I record every diaper he soils, every minute he sleeps, and every drop of milk he drinks. I am a huge fan of technology and I am certainly one of those ignorant people who thinks; how did anyone live without it!

With this app I can tell you to the day and hour when my baby James had his 1000th diaper. In fact I will, I changed James' 1000th diaper on August 14th at 8:17 pm and it was pee. Yes, that is right; just pee.

Well getting back to my reasoning. We have had this app since James was born, five months ago, and at the beginning of the summer we decided it would be fun to throw a party to celebrate James reaching his 1000th diaper and so we did :0).

And now let my crazy day commence! (Be warned this may be kind of quick, do try to keep up :0))

First part of my day started the same, I woke and fed James.

Then I went to the kitchen and checked on the diaper pinata I had been paper macheing the day before. Now all it needed was a coat of paint and a little decor. I popped the balloons inside the pinata which sent my cats racing through the house, certain they were going to die.

Now James is in his bouncy, eating his sophie. I have three frying pans on the stove and I am browning meat in each. I fill up the water for my drinks and start a search for my lemonade.

Then I call husband asking where it is. He says in the cupboard, I tell him no. I am getting frustrated and I hang up the phone. Then I send an angry text regarding his koolaid I found. He calls back I answer, say something mean, and then hang up again. But now I ignore the phone.

I put the meat in the crockpot and start cooking the sloppy joes. Then I start rolling up some cresants around mini hot dogs.

James is bored and is starting to fall asleep.

My husband shows up with ice and you guessed it... lemonade.

Problem solved, right? Wrong!

I take husband back to work and head out to check out my park. Guess what? Its reserved all day long! I drive around town looking at different parks for an hour. Why are they all reserved?! Finally I find one. Now I am calling and texting all the guests letting them know where to go.

Now back home, feed James. Put laundry to wash my pants, I somehow got paper mache all over them. I put the mini hotdogs in the oven. Then I lay James down for nap.

I paint and decorate the pinata. I really like how it turned out. Next step I go to print off stuff on the computer. And of course the printer is down. Uninstall; re-install; now it is fixed.

Put some diapers on some dolls, melt some chocolate in some diapers. Check on all the food. Make some lemonade. Now its time to pack the car.

Friend shows up a little early, house is a mess from me running around...oh man, so embarassed! I tell her its at the park and then she goes.

Now I pack the car, wondering why am I bring so much? The clock is ticking and I am running out of time! Back inside, I feed James and clock is still ticking. Now we take off and go get Matt and rush to the park.

Devestation! There is another party going on! Matt goes and talks to them. Crisis averted, they were actually just about to leave...at least I hope that was true.

Friends and family show and all was good, in fact it was great! Everyone had fun, we played games, we ate food. Everything looked nice and I felt relieved.

Now the question is, would I do it again? Of course I would, I felt all the love and support. So many people came, my husband did his best despite my pissy attitude, and we got to have fun and laugh, and show off James. I don't think there is any other way to say it, except that this day was the best!
